Balance discussion/suggestions

[ComradeP]

ComradeP, I don't understand this comment--I'm not familiar with any games that allow the attacker to ignore stacking limits, etc. Or are you saying that they impose lower stacking limits on the defender (ie, fewer of them can "fit" in the fortifications?).

I don't actually play many games at this scale, so I'm genuinely curious how other games handle this issue...

My comment was probably confusing. The stacking limit applies in other games as well, but you're not forced to attack with units up to a maximum of the one hex stacking limit.

Let's say the stacking limit in a hex is 4 units. If you attack from one hex, you can attack with a maximum of 4 units. If you attack from 2 hexes/across two hexsides, the maximum is 8 and so forth. In the PzC and PzB series a single hex stacking limit is imposed on both attacker and defender, which means the attacker is at a disadvantage when attacking a defending unit or stack close to the stacking limit.

You can attack from multiple hexes, but there's no modifier for how many more units/men can join an attack per hex you're attacking from. The maximum is always the single hex stacking limit.
